Testosterone Supplementation Rationale

Meaning

The Testosterone Supplementation Rationale is the evidence-based clinical justification for initiating exogenous testosterone therapy in an individual, extending beyond simply a low laboratory value. This rationale requires the presence of classic hypogonadal symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, decreased libido, or muscle mass loss, that correlate with suboptimal free testosterone levels. A comprehensive rationale considers the patient’s age, comorbidities, lifestyle factors, and specific therapeutic goals. It ensures that treatment is medically indicated and aligns with a clear expectation of functional improvement and risk management.
